An unusual case of homicidal near drowning followed by electrocution.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A young woman was found dead in a bath-tub with her facial orifices under water and current burn marks at the right big toe and at the neck near the hairline. Initial police investigations assumed an accidental electric shock due to a radio falling into the water. The forensic autopsy was followed by extensive histology and immunohistochemistry of the internal organs and skin marks. Intensive vital reactions of a near-drowning were detected that suggested a survival period of at least 20 min. Furthermore, an energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analysis on the current burn marks and on possible current applicators was performed, as well as reconstruction experiments with a cadaver of a pig that had been slaughtered shortly before. The results of all investigations revealed a two-step procedure with a primary near-drowning and a final current application with consecutive cardiac arrest.
